I understand where you're coming from. But don't you feel that the security fixes are coming out in a timely fashion and once they're shut, they're gone for good? (At least that particular exploit) Sl…

Again? We need a single website alerting RoR devs about vulnerabilities. I shouldn't have to found out about these things on HackerNews. Someone build this website for us RoR devs, pretty please? (ps.…

I'm not 100% sure what this means. I remember hearing a lot of rabble rabble a few months back about Microsoft placing some roadblocks on hardware that would make it more difficult to install Linux on…

Ruby pulled me out of C# hell and allowed me to see other open source stacks and for that I love it. I'm so happy now that I can work with a clean language with a small difficulty curve. I look like a…

Two horrible abortions of a design don't make a right. :P With so many awesome people in this world, I'd like to think there is at least 1 great designer and front end guy who would donate time to com…

How so? If they want to program in nano or use a dvorak keyboard, let them. It's about what makes YOU happy and productive. Who cares what other people use?

Easily the best choice I made when switching over to Rails. The IDE works so phenomenally well, it's amazing! I couldn't work without Rubymine.

No need to be pedantic. The OP used apt-get as a good enough analogy and got the point across quite clearly. It let's you install things quickly, just like apt-get. "But with apt-get you can perform s…

I disagree. It's good to read bits and pieces here and there, but he deviates too much into Git, Github, Heroku, Unit Testing, etc. I want to learn Rails and Ruby. An already hard enough task. There's…

I'm giddy with excitement on what this could be used for. Please correct me if I'm wrong: Does this mean that when you chat with another person you are directly linked to them, making the communicatio…

I made making games incredibly simple. If an idiot like myself could make a simple game on XNA, anybody could.

I used to smirk at people who claimed Microsoft constantly did this but I now see the light. First silverlight, now this. Why should I invest in the Microsoft stack? I'm done. Microsoft is no longer a…

Fifth post I've seen this week from the Economist and nordic countries' economy. What's the agenda? And what's with the astroturfing of articles here on HN?

My answer to those people, "Deal with it." My analytics on my sites have shown people with screens smaller than that are in the very very small minority.

>For our new design, we decided to stick to a fixed grid of 980px. Yep, this is what I've been doing for a while now. Looks great on desktops, and looks great on iPad devices and tablets. Responsi…

Makes sense and should come as no surprise. Lots of people enjoy the large screen, Apple may release a phone in that size arena to compete and join in on the action. Samsung has proven that people lik…

I'm losing my Ruby and Rails faith here; what gives? This is just as bad as leaving SQL injection attacks open.

Link title should be changed. The Google Fiber relation is pure speculation and NOT FACT. Title as is, is link bait.

Thank you for answering so quickly. So where is this scraper getting the URL's from? A forum or something?

I see where you're coming from, it's a shame that so many bugs are available in Rails.

Can someone clear this up for me? How can I download someone's private uploads? Is the key to "unlock" the file embedded in the URL gibberish?

The DAY I manage to convince the big wigs where I work that we should switch from a typical shared environment to Heroku, this happens. Talk about luck. :( Hopefully I can spin this and not leave a ba…

This + Ruby syntax highlighting. https://gist.github.com/4666256

And I thought Thanksgiving with my folks was bad...

Is this comment being sarcastic? I sure hope so.

>What has been your experience? I live in Bolivia and have been here for the past 14 years. Wouldn't go back to the states willingly. Bolivia may be a poorer but it's much friendlier and you have…

Good for him that he managed to get around that. But personal, face to face interactions are much better are gauging how a person is going to be when joining a team. Any sort of team. People on paper …

I side with Vizzini on this one. He trademarked it plain and simple and shouldn't be stripped of his trademark. I hope the Reddit community members lose this one. It's not like the guy demanded they s…

I always felt that implementing OAuth authorization was much too complicated. I used to think it was because I'm an idiot, but seeing so many people have trouble with the same thing makes me doubt mys…
